“Note: "At present, Museum is closed for restoration" Here at Al Eslah School Museum you can learn about the UAE educational system that was adopted in the past. We can sit at the students wooden desks and embark on a journey to the past memories. Al Eslah School is considered the first formal school in Sharjah. We will surely relive the old experiences who graduated from similar schools.”

“This museum is a joke. Not even worth stopping by for 5 minutes. Nothing was actually presented other than some blurry pictures.”
